Because of recent trends at my place of employment, the entire "work from home" advocacy movement as it has definitely contributed to my souring mental health to the point where I'm becoming genuinely angry at co-workers who partake in it.

We've moved to a kind of hybrid system here and it's a pretty sweet balance.

Josh Harris is, I'd wager.  He's in the ownership group for the Sixers, the NJ Devils, some Soccer Team.  He's not a football guy; he's a sports investor guy.

It is kind of sad though, that someone can buy a team and know they'll make tons of money and they don't even need to make sure the team is good.

There are a lot of professional sports teams in that same boat.

Like I said in the other thread, seems like a rip off compared to what Broncos went for.

Denver doesn't compare to DC.  From a value standpoint DC is one of the top 10 in the NFL.  The money it brings in is crazy.  DC is one of the 3 biggest media markets in the country.  Despite our on-field mediocrity, the team prints money.

I don't know if I wanna see it because it looks weird and fun or if it's because I like Goodbye Stranger.

EDIT - Did some digging, this appears to be an anthology film with eight different stories. So that would explain the non-cohesive trailer.

That makes a lot more sense.  That trailer is all over the place.

Stranger Things 2090: A Space Odyssey Event Horizon Blade Runner Edition? 

Persona 3 on the Switch.  I didn't play it the first go around.  Currently in August.

Other than still being nauseous over how much surgery for a dog costs, I'm doing great.

4:00am, everyday of the week. No alarm, no problem! Brain clicks on within 5 minutes of 4, no matter what I do. Only had 2 hours of sleep, too bad! 

This is me, but at 6.

Between 5:30 and 6am, weekdays and weekends.  I've lost my ability to sleep in.  If I go to sleep at 10pm I'm up by 6.  If I go to sleep at 2am I'm up by 6.  It's frustrating.

This was just recommended to me by a friend the other day.  I'm going to be checking it out real soon.

Ok @Slug they may have got ya then 😂

OK I just looked it up.  I'm pretty sure it's a regular LED. 

Edit: Wait shit..I can't tell. Apparently there are oled and non oled versions of this TV?  

Edit 2: OK I pulled the specific model and yes, I did "accidentally" buy an OLED, I think.  So now I'm back the conclusion that I just suck at picture settings.

I mean yeah I wouldn't have accidentally bought it, but I absolutely wouldn't have paid attention to what I was buying.  Being a layperson when it comes to this kind of thing, I'm every salesperson's favorite guy.  I'm the one who walks in and just picks whatever looks best on the wall in the showroom then says yes to whatever suggestions the salesperson makes to make me change my mind.

I didn’t feel much benefit over the years going from one LCD to the next. The first time I fired up my first OLED, I absolutely had the “we HD now” feeling. It can’t be overstated how important black blacks are to overall image quality.

I'mma have to look up to see if my current TV is an OLED.  Like I said I may just suck at picture settings.

The sale sure sounds imminent.

 

The 2023 League meetings are next week (26th-29th).  If a sale is pending, that's when it will be voted on and approved.  We'd hear confirmation shortly after that.

I know unrelated, but the tech jump in TVs doesn't wow me anymore.  I remember being blown away when I first made the jump from an old box projection flat screen to a modern LED TV.  Absolutely floored; looking at the TV was like looking through a window.  Every upgrade I've made since then has failed to impress.  I haven't gotten that "holy shit we HD now" feeling in a long ass time.  I bought a new TV a few months ago and it's nice, but the picture's not like, breathtakingly different than my previous TV.  Either I suck at picture settings or I need to wait another decade or so before upgrading any TVs.

I most recently heard him as the voice of Thordak the Cinder King in the Critical Role animated series.  Just a great voice.

That logo is pure Warhammer.

So Commanders have no QB

 

Sources - Taylor Heinicke to join Falcons as Desmond Ridder's backup

WWW.ESPN.COM

---

The Falcons plan to sign quarterback Taylor Heinicke, sources confirmed to ESPN, adding the former Commanders fan favorite to a QB room that once again will be in transition in 2023.

 

We have Howell. Undefeated.

It's so Atari it hurts.  Look at DK.  Look what they done to my boy.

And nothing of value was lost.

It's so rare that a movie I'd seen or even heard of, let alone actually liked, won best picture.  I'm glad EEAaO got it.  I saw it randomly on a whim at a theater near an airport while killing time waiting for a flight home.  Knew absolutely nothing about it going in.  Everything else that was in the theater at the time looked boring and this one had a cool box standee with Michelle Yeoh doing a martial arts pose and I was like, "Yeah I could go for a kung-fu flick".  2 hours later and I could not recall ever being that surprised and engaged by a movie before.  It's not my favorite movie, but it's probably my favorite movie experience if that makes sense.  It absolutely tops the list of "I wish I could see it again for the first time" films.

Isn't he out of the running since WaPo said bad things about the Commanders?

Conflicting reports.  He's still in the running.
